I keep thinking of the saying, "He took to that like a duck takes to water." HA! I always thought that meant a duck likes the water---now I'm not so sure. :D Loved the photos and quotes together. You wove a wonderful story.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03865193802444007545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-21040572616499322842009-06-25T07:41:26.792-07:002009-06-25T07:41:26.792-07:00Your quotes on fear and faith are well chosen.
Ye...Your quotes on fear and faith are well chosen.<br /><br />Yesterday morning at seven-thirty, eight o'clock I was sitting in my dining room with the window open and I heard a horrible scream from out across our pond. It was much like the coyote call set on "deer." And sure enough Dirt went out and chased a couple of coyotes off of their morning kill, a spotted fawn. Anna and Norrine saw a coyote between her house and the big pond in the early afternoon just the other day.<br /><br />But to keep everything locked up isn't healthy either is it?Lannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018584509455303394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-67384601842568546612009-06-24T04:41:10.319-07:002009-06-24T04:41:10.319-07:00I am amazed that there's a "learning curv...I am amazed that there's a "learning curve" for ducks to go into the water.

I KNOW that is how God sees us too....<br /><br />Thistle Cove, I know you watch your animals closely and enjoy them.Thank-you for your prayers too!<br /><br />Shellmo,the ducks are fun to watch. They are very comical, and clumped like that it appears I have a brown blob with lots of funny feet moving around the lawn.<br /><br />Abe Lincoln, I totally agree. The forests around here have been cut down to make way for housing developments and of course, our place is just one stop among many for the coyotes, raccoons and possums to pick up some farm raised poultry and lamb. There are a lot of cougars around too, but so far we have been spared them, unlike our neighbors within walking distance of our place.<br /><br />Flower, your words are very kind and I thank-you very much!<br /><br />Shannon, that call duck is the oldest male, papa duck. Don't he and mama duck make an odd couple?KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-86822912415282061742009-06-23T20:30:25.104-07:002009-06-23T20:30:25.104-07:00Cute post!

So to keep from starving they seek places like you have that has something to eat. I know they will also go after fish in ponds people have for decoration.<br /><br />You have a nice blog here.
